The Chromecast has no remote, you direct things from your phone. Not everything can be cast, I believe amazon video can't for example.

The firestick has a remote, but has a more limited selection of apps as amazon like to tie you into their ecosystem.

The roku is possibly the only device other than an android TV box that has all the major apps, but they are generally more expensive. That said the little roku express I got last week performs well for the price.

Because £34.99 is about the regular price for this (RRP is rarely a good indicator of what they actually sell at). Plus a fair few people on here are probably justifiably POed at Scan for the stunt they pulled on this deal: hotukdeals.com/dea…495
